About the Audubon Insectarium

The Audubon Insectarium has moved into its new riverfront home alongside the Audubon Aquarium. The Insectarium encourages you to use all five senses as you explore a museum devoted to some of the world's most fascinating and important insects.

Audubon Insectarium provides guests a chance to experience the amazing animals that pollinate our crops, add beauty and diversity to our world, and make up the largest group of animals on the planet. At Bug Appetit, discover and taste edible insect cuisine, explore a beautiful garden overlooking the Mississippi River with hundreds of free-flying butterflies, muse over 50 displays with live arthropods, and much more.

The Insectarium is now located on the grounds of the Audubon Aquarium after closing its doors in the early days of the pandemic. Separate entrances to the Aquarium and the Insectarium are located on the second floor. The breathtaking Butterfly Garden remains a highlight of the Insectarium, where visitors young and old can discover 20 species of butterflies from rainforests across the world.
